@toastal @Atemu
Why use #github when you can use @Codeberg ?
Because the projects I want to contribute to are on Github, not some other forge. Also, I don't want to create accounts on dozens of forges; each with their own settings and whatever; I also don't want to have to put contributors to my projects through that, so if I want external contributors, Github is pretty much my only choice.
I don't like it but until federation between forges is a thing, Github it is.
@Atemu
Same reasons used by #iphone, #mac, #microsoft, #facebook, #twitter, #reddit, etc. users.
But here we are, people using #pinephone, #linux, #mastodon, #lemmy, etc.
